Extended Warranty - Is it worth it?

When I bought the car the dealer quoted a few prices for an extended warranty. The factory warranty is 4 yr / 48,000 miles. I should mention that I plan to keep the vehicle for ~10 years, and I will probably average about 7,000 miles / year.

They also offered a wheel / tire warranty. If anything happens to a tire or wheel (crack, break or even curb scuff) they will replace it.

5 yr / unlimited miles - $1,195

Any thoughts? Are any of you paying for an extended warranty? If you don't mind, how much are you paying?

I purchased a “wheel, tire & replacement remote” package for about the same price as you did.

i only went with the 5 year service warranty for whatever the Audi price is on-line.

From your post, it would seem that we are both alike as far as length of time we keep our cars (last Acura was 12.5 years) and mileage per year. Before buying any extended warranties, I want to see what experience I have as well as the rest of the Audi B9 world.

My S5 just turned 7 months old as has 3,027 miles on her. So far — no real issues or complaints.

This is often refer to as the backend of the deal where the dealer can make the most money. German cars’ extended warranties are too expensive, the same terms on a Lexus or Acura would be a quarter of the price. Personally, I would self insure and put that money in the bank. Another option is to wait until your 4 year warranty is almost up, then by it. As for the wheel insurance, its a bit over priced.

you will get a flat or bent wheel in a couple years or less. Audi is not good with auto transmissions, they ignore ZF recommendations...you shouldn’t. One major engine issue requiring removal or replacement will justify the warranty.
